Chapter 16: Trash

Chapter 16: Trash

'It seems that the heavens truly pitied me.'

He muttered as he looked at the sky.

Among hundreds of participants only he, Genre, had no affinities. He can't summon his power or so. Only if he had that technology from Sins.

'I can only leave this place, to be chased out, and to be killed. Mama, papa, I'm sorry! I let you down.

And my existence is unworthy to be proud of.

He kneeled down in the awakening area. Of course kids around him looked at him pitifully.

"Bro, it's okay. You can still do something. Maybe a craftsman or being a soldier." A boy with brown hair consoled him while reaching out his hand.

Little Ner looks at the kid with brown hair.

'The guy who awoken the power of shadows?'

He thought.

"Ummm… It's okay. Thank you."

He replied to the kid.

"Just be happy, not all people are gifted to have powers, because some of them had no shelter to live or food to eat, maybe you're just lucky among them and so am I, our Venerable made something especially for you." The kid consoled him.

'You don't know my pain kid. You are 30 years younger than me.' He scolded in his mind.

He walked away with a calm face.

Along the way, he was blocked by 2 girls.

"Humph, you're trash?" Someone called.

"You again Bitch." He replied.

"What did you say?" Mirae angrily asked.

"Stop it, Mae!" Nana held her clothes.

"So you're the only one who can talk? Did you say that I am trash? Are you?" Little Ner contradicted.

"You!" Mirae said as if she had no will to accept the fact.

"Let us go., Mirae said.

"I'm sorry Jed." Nana apologizes at him.

"It's okay. 'I'm trash,' she just said the fact." Little Ner replied.

Nana also followed Mae.

...

"Sire there is a kid who doesn't have affinities seems odd. This only happened to the outer core but he is a Noble!" The attendant said.

"Hmmm… Give me his data." The Noble in 2nd seat said.

As he looked at the data.

"This kid looks is a pure Arc! But what is wrong with his Awakening? This is so strange!" He said.

"Maybe it is ….." Someone in the 3rd seat but suddenly stopped.

"We don't still have proof. Let just first observe him, don't do anything until we confirmed." The 2nd seat replied back.

"And please keep this matter." He added.

"Yes, Sire." The attendant replied.

'Hahaha if this kid has then...' He laughed at his mind and imagined the rest.

.....

On the bench, a lady in her brown ash gown is waiting.

"Mother!" Someone called.

"Oh! Little Ner how was your awakening?" The mother said excitedly.

Seeing his mother so happy.

He can't say something.

"...….."

His tears dropped.

With his strong will, he can't even stop it.

He's still a kid who lived without parents for almost 23 years.

As if her mother understood the situation she only hugged him.

"It's okay….shs." She consoled him.

Of course, she loved him.

'Even my son is trash I will protect you, the both of you 'cause you're the only person I care about in this world.' She thought while hugging her son.

"Let us go, the food I cooked is going cold," Mare said to little Ner.

"Okay, Mom." Seeing his mother happy he smiled.

'I can only protect this smile.' She thought as she dragged her son away.

...

After eating she let him sleep first before going out.

"That thing must be kept by the guys In seat. I can only do this time since my son hasn't awakened his power." She muttered.

"The reason to call power, Shadow!" She chanted.

She hides under the shadows and moved so fast.

Her mother affinity was Rare and moderate talent.

It was the same with that brown kid but she was weaker.

In the room where only a kid can be seen.

After a long sleep, he woke up. Showered, dressed, and eat.

On the Arc Academy grounds.

"Please line up!" An instructor from Section C said.

"Anyone who had the affinity of Aero please come this way!"

The instructor from section D said.

"Anyone who had the affinity of Terra please come this way!" Another instructor said.

"Anyone who had the affinity of Hydra please come this way!"

More than 7 instructors are gathering on their spot calling for those who will apply.

"Is this Instructor Jang? The one who called, Jang the Northern.

"O,h it's me… Why?" He said.

He looked back to the kid who asked.

"Ow… you're that kids. I welcome you to my section B." He answered the girls.

Of course, those girls he speaks of was Mirae and Nana.

"Thank you,u Instructor." Both Nana and Mirae said.

20 minutes ago.

"So whose instructor are we going to pick. It seems like they are good at everything but majors in something." Nana asked.

"According to my father, he said that Instructor Jang was the best," Mirae said.

"Then let us signed up Mae," Nana replied.

...…..

While on his way he can't think of something.

'For now, let's pick something useful from the library but the thing is…. I will be signing up to become a student.' He thought.

"If that's the only way to protect this weak body then let me have it." He muttered then signed up in section B while not thinking about something.

To be continued…..

Satou, D.
